Acids have long been used in skincare to treat a myriad of complexion woes.
Glycolic acid, for instance, is a water-soluble alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that tackles breakouts, even out skin texture, removes dead skin cells and minimises hyperpigmentation. Hyaluronic acid (HA), another skincare staple, boosts hydration and softens fine lines.
One unfamiliar acid that has piqued our interest is dehydroabietic acid (DAA). Derived from red pine and a key element in Sulwhasoo’s Timetreasure Invigorating line, it reportedly reduces aged cells by 55%, strengthens the skin’s self-restoration ability and firms it from deep within.
To better harness the rejuvenative effects of DAA, Sulwhasoo has doubled its dosage in the latest Timetreasure Invigorating range. A patented technology further optimises absorption of the potent extract. Red Treasure™, a powerful substance exclusive to the Korean beauty brand, is also incorporated for its strong, vitalising energy. It is derived from condensing Red Pine extracts 66 times – a remarkable feat in the field of anti-aging. Together with Red Pine Protect Coat (RPPC) from the bark of red pine, energising red ginseng and the anti-inflammatory sandalwood, the luxurious skincare line offer a luxurious cocoon that restores skin around the clock.
Ahead, we break down the Timetreasure Invigorating collection:
This anti-ageing toner is infused with red pine, peony and ginger extracts for deep hydration. Twice more powerful than before, the updated composition also helps diminish wrinkles and improve skin’s resilience.
DAA and RPPC from red pine along with matsutake mushroom extract fortifies skin’s barrier, stimulates circulation, increases moisture levels and soothes skin around the eyes. The serum comes with a specially-designed Golden Eye Care Massager, which helps skin better absorb the product as it encourages lymphatic draining, reduce puffiness and promote blood circulation. The lightweight, watery texture makes it suitable for daytime use.
On top of the range’s star ingredients DAA and RPPC, this best-selling eye cream also contains poria cocos extracts, which produces procollagen and restores aged skin. Its dense texture also blurs fine lines and smooth wrinkles upon application. Eyes appear younger and lifted.
Rare wild simulated ginseng works with red pine extracts to revitalise skin for a youthful glow. The translucent emulsified texture of the serum envelops skin with a moisturising and silky-smooth finish.
Pine nut oil helps to refine skin texture and maintain skin’s hydration levels, keeping it clear and firm.
Think of this cream as a richer, denser sibling of the Timetreasure Invigorating Serum. Its lavish texture adheres to the skin for hours, boosting its resilience while improving elasticity and correcting wrinkles.
Wake up the next morning with clearer, firmer, smoother skin with this heavy-hitting sleeping mask. It contains extracts of coix lacryma-jobi ma-yuen seeds, apricot kernels and morus alba, all of which nourishes and restores skin’s vitality while you rest. The calming scent helps lull you to sleep, too.
Sulwhasoo Timetreasure Invigorating line is available at all Sulwhasoo boutiques and counters at TANGS at Tang Plaza and Vivocity, Takashimaya D.S. and Metro Paragon.
